I broke my back in 1984. I broke my neck in 1989. I can relate to his problem with painkillers. I only avoided becoming an addict because my young kids and my job required me to be 100% mentally aware all the time...which also means 100% aware of the chronic pain. It just depends on the individual and on their ability to handle their particular pain. I use a lot of mental tricks - and physical tricks - to deal with it. This is probably what Rush will have to learn to do.
